5. National open science agenda and Jisc
Open Access 5
Open access to publications (OA):While there is some policy
uncertainty until completion of the UKRI review, Jisc aims to help
universities implement and benefit from OA as expressed in their own,
RCUK, COAF and REF OA policies as they are confirmed for the next
few years. Jisc pursues this aim through a suite of OA services, though
negotiations with publishers on behalf of the sector, and through
national and international thought leadership and engagement.
Open access to research data, as defined in the 2012 Royal Society
report Science as an Open Enterprise: Jisc aims to help universities and
others implement and benefit from the terms of the UK Research Data
Concordat and to enable maximum research data re-use. Jisc pursues
this aim through the development of national research data shared
services, and through national and international thought leadership
and engagement.
Open research indicators: Jisc aims to help the sector understand
practically why and how to move to more responsible use of more
transparent research indicators, to test some of those indicators, and
to encourage the release of data that underpin them, where
appropriate. Jisc pursues this aim through the provision of data and
services, through experimentation, through negotiations, and through
national and international thought leadership and engagement.

6. The UK and the EU
UK Government position on FP9 released very
recently*. UK aspires to maintain a very close
relationship with EU research. FP9:
• A continued focus on excellence is essential
• Open to theWorld
• A mission-oriented approach could be useful
• Should reduce the administrative burden
• Should tackle Europe’s innovation gap

7. The UK and the EU
If the UK is going to remain close to EU
research, then we will want to build on the
excellent relations we have with European
research infrastructure, and we believe that our
EU partners want that too.
